Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. It is rainy here again today making it difficult to get garden clean up done but worse still the farmers are having a hard time to get their crops in.
Anyway, today I am joining the creative Cielo at the 'House in the Roses' for her 'show us your cottage' theme. This can be a room in your home, so I am showing a guest room in our home.
Some of you have already seen some photos of this room, but it has been awhile, so I'm hoping you forgot!
This room is decorated with simple furniture from 'yard sales' etc. giving it a cottage style look.
Now that I have taken these pictures, I see I have a design flaw(maybe more then one)-the one that I see, is my lamp is a little on the short side but pretend you don't notice!
I got this lamp at a thrift store and spray painted it cream. The blue toile lamp shade came from the Christmas tree shop. It is blue toile but hard to tell with the light on but on a rainy day I was having a hard time to get enough light without the flash.
Breakfast in bed anyone?
Our home is aprox. 87 years old.

linens and lace.
To those of you who wanted the recipe for the pumpkin spice muffins I will share it tomorrow. I am having company for supper and I am experimenting with gingerbread pumpkin trifle if it turns out I will share this one too if it doesn't I won't even mention it again!!!
Thank you Cielo, for hosting this fun event at the lovely House in the Roses. Please go and check out the other 'cottages' if you haven't already.
Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteTruly lovely, I love all the lace and the crocheted (table linen or bedspreads?) they are so beautiful. I have two very much the same made by my great Grandmother but they were made for the table.
All your touches in the room make for a peaceful retreat and a treasure of a room.
I received a note from Cielo and will join in very soon for "Show us your cottage theme".
Enjoy your day,
Elizabeth
Carolyn, what can I say? Your room is just lovely and I would love to spend some time in there. I love all the lace and toile touches. Very pretty and cozy! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your evening.

This could be a favorite room for me! Both cottagy and the blue and white! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn! Oh, your bedroom is so lovely. I love the soft romantic look of it. The soothing colors and the laceness you've added all around! It would be so lovely to visit you, I just know it!

Carolyn, may I come live with you? All I can say is "sweet", to quote my granddaughter. That is the ultimate compliment, according to her vocabulary, and I would have to say that this room is absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to see what you will do next.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Mary
Carolyn I always love coming over and looking at your lovely home! My it is a wonder you can get rid of your guest - I think they would want to stay forever in such a lovely room!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me about Ceilo's cottage Monday- I had totally forgotten to link up to hers today!

Marvelous!! what a wonderful room--everything ties in so well. I am wondering where you got all the linen and lace? The wallpaper is wonderful too!! I have a question --I noticed you had a chenelle type spread thrown over a chair. Does it produce lint if you sit on it?

is my cottage blog.
Cozy, comfy, a room filled with serenity. If I needed a solitude getaway (and who doesn't)I could see myself staying in your guest room easily! Tea, muffins and a stroll through your lovely gardens would be a perfect mini-vacation. Carolyn, it's so obvious how much you love and cherish your home. Your peaceful spirit shines through.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely guest room. I'm sure all of your vistors enjoy their stay!
ReplyDeleteEven if I hadn't forgotten, I would have still loved these pictures. This room has such a special feel to it, but I imagine your whole house does. I love the chenille covered chair in the corner. What a wonderful place to curl up and enjoy the sound of the rain on the roof.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you decorate...it is just so lovely.
Hugs,
June
Carolyn.. can I be your guest? hehehehe.. I promise I wont touch a thing.. I just wanna enjoy the heaven on earth guest room you have! sooooooo beautiful! I love it!!!!...
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I want to move into that room! It's so pretty and restful, too. Love the blue and white! Love the vintage linens, the bed, everything...
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
I don't care if I've seen it before, it was wonderful to see it again! It's so pretty!!! I love the rack with the linens and lace on it! I think that is a quilt rack?? I'm going to try to find one for my room to display my linens! Thanks for that brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely tour of your beautiful Guest Room!
ReplyDeleteNice to get to see this.
Like all the softness of the whites.
God bless,

Just lovely. You could have at good nights sleep there, I think. And you would love to wake up in the morning in that room.
ReplyDeletesussi
I love blue, cream and white mixed together so this room is all in my liking! For example, I chose a blue and white toile wallpaper for our kitchen! Everyone thought I was crazy but it turned out really pretty.
ReplyDeleteNice little bird´s nest you have there =)
I♥ it; so sweet, cozy and inviting. I think blue and white toile is so clean looking for a guest room.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know the pattern of the green/white china. I am on the lookout for it!
How georgous Carolyn, everything beautiful, linens and laces my favorites... would love to sleep in that bed and be served breakfast in that lovely tray.
ReplyDeleteHow nice everything in your home and how wonderful the pictures you take.
Muchos cariños
